Project Gutenberg 2009-09-07 Public domain in the USA. 328 Froude, James Anthony 1818 1894 Froude, J. A. (James Anthony) Bunyan E-text prepared by Sankar Viswanathan, Bill Tozier, Barbara Tozier, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Bunyan" by James Anthony Froude is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the early life of John Bunyan, the author of "The Pilgrim's Progress," and the profound spiritual struggles he faced that shaped his thoughts and writings. Froude explores Bunyan's humble beginnings, his tumultuous path to faith, and the moral conflicts that defined his character, offering readers insight into how such experiences influenced his later works. The opening of the book introduces readers to John Bunyan as a boy of low birth born in 1628, in a period of significant political upheaval in England. Froude describes Bunyan's upbringing in a poor household, detailing his early mischievous behavior and struggles with sin and moral conviction, often exacerbated by nightmares and an intense consciousness of evil. Despite growing up ignorant of formal schooling, Bunyan's life was heavily influenced by the deeply ingrained religious beliefs surrounding him, causing him to grapple with inner turmoil. This conflict between his sinful nature and his yearning for redemption sets the stage for his eventual calling to ministry, shedding light on the extraordinary faith journey that would culminate in the creation of his enduring literary masterpiece.
